Deion Sanders Files Request To Lower Child Support Payments

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Pilar Sanders must be feeling pretty smug at this moment seeing the utter dissatisfaction of ex-hubby Deion Sanders over the court ruled $10,000 per month child support payments. She claims she definitely needs that amount citing $2,000/month for a special diet for the kids, $900/month on uniforms and shoes for the kids’ sports activities, $500/ month on the children’s cell phones, and $450 on haircuts and styles. Notice those totals aren’t even half of what she’s asking and honestly seem a bit blown. Think maybe mommy just wants to do a little shopping?

In an attempt to fight the ruling, Deion Sanders has beseeched the courts to revisit the ruling alleging that that amount is six times what TX requires. Pilar, of course, doesn’t agree. She seems assured that no court will “take pity” on him seeing as how he’s worth “250 million…” how eloquent and exact of you Pilar.

She and her lawyer continue to paint Sanders in a negative, attention seeking light stating that he has “once again disobeyed the courts.” I didn’t realize that standing up for what you want could be considered “Disobeying” but thanks for the lesson guys.

A clean break-up and moving on definitely isn’t in Pilar’s range of view and she doesn’t seem to be backing down anytime soon. Though she can’t be totally to blame, after all it takes two to tango, but let’s hope these two get it together soon for the sake of the kids at least.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
